Hello Mary: I am with you regarding watermelon. It is the only fruit that I dislike, don't know why, is it the texture as you mention? the taste? the mess while eating it? A nice ice cold glass of lemonade for me, please.Patricia

Lovely watermelons in your Costco rendition!! We are just two, and I do a Costco Run each month for items I use. Trader Joe's is another place and then I have a regular grocery store. I do find ways to freeze things, but we also have a small freezer.

Perhaps watermelon is one of those things you Love or Hate...I'm on the lover side as we grew up in a rural area and watermelons were everywhere, and cheap or grow them in your garden.

I don't buy fresh goods at Costco. We need to travel 2 hours to get to one. So we stock up on Frozen fish, nuts, olives, and big items that will store.I like watermelon but it doesn't like me. It seems I have a sensitivity to it. Go figure.Great picture,BlessingsJanis

Wonderful piece for the theme, Mary! We rarely had watermelon when we were kids so it was a real treat when Mum would bring one from shipping. We were always under strict orders to take it outside to eat.... They can be messy. haha

If I had to pick one common fruit that I wasn't keen on, it would be strawberries. I think it's the flavour more than anything else. I will eat them fresh occasionally but I don't enjoy them like I do other fruits. I hate strawberry-flavoured foods....definitely no strawberry milkshakes for me. haha

with the image cropped/colored like that, they looked slightly unlike watermelons. I always find the outside of watermelons kind of odd with their patterns. I don't quite like watermelons either but mostly I've not tasted any good ones, I guess.

Oh Mary, you found the mother load of watermelons there. What great inspiration for your scribble. We have a regular list of items we get from Costco. And I kid my husband that he goes there for the "senior buffet" - all the samples. It can be embarrassing at times, but not as embarrassing as what happened to my daughter-in-law's uncle. He would go to his local Costco every day at lunch for the samples and not buy anything and they finally asked him not to come in anymore. Imagine that!

Please give my late best wishes to Bob. Watermelons can be oh so refreshing and good if they are sweet and the right amount of ripeness. My last one was not so good, but the one I have now is delicious. I love making a watermelon salad by drizzling a mixture of lime juice and honey over it, then toss it a bit of basil. Delicious!

Please tell me that my last comment did save. I never saw a message indicating that it was excepted for review.

Anyway, I wanted to add that I totally understand if you don't contribute to the next weeks theme which is somewhat different. However, you certainly have some entries into the summer giveaway! now, wouldn't that be funny if you one since your granddaughter, Cassie one the last one! We shall see. Iam going to write a post on this very soon... probably later tonight.

No Michael, there was no other comment from you so something happened in the big computerized universe and ate your words!Interest is peaking here - what on earth are you coming up with next? Hurry please, I'm impatient. . . . . .and old!!!!!

It would be strange if everyone liked all the same foods, and there are certainly plenty of foods besides watermelon for you to enjoy!No Costco near enough to us for me to even think about shopping at one.
